Book Listing for the Social Justice Movement Articles

Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2021

I have read more than 30 books in preparation for the five-part Think on These Things series on the Social Justice Movement (SJM) and Critical Race Theory (CRT).  Some of the books were read a few years ago, while many others more recently.  Not every volume is directly connected to the SJM or CRT but all contribute to understanding these influences in one way or another.  I thought it might be useful to identify these works including links to my book reviews of each.  This list, with accompanying links will provide a quick, and hopefully valuable reference for those who wish to explore this subject more fully.  As will be noticed, the books are organized alphabetically, rather than by subject.
